Yup, if I offer you meat don't ask where it came from though.... you may not want to know what happened to that guard who went missing a few days earlier.

...Don't tell them that... they have morals about that sort of thing.

I know, I don't intend to tell anybody. Not even you while I'm feeding it to you ;P. Alexis will survive because she has no morals.

I predict this is going to go exactly like the You Are A Lord thread.

Perhaps keep the OOC chatter low. No offense, it may make people think the game is on. I'll make an OOC thread ASAP.

Name: Wade Blue
Bio: When the walls came down, Wade Blue-prisoner number 19823-was serving ten years for armed robbery in a federal maximum security prison. Though he was guilty of many thing, ironically, he wasn't guilty of that.

If it was carelessness, or misplaced pity that freed the prisoners is up for debate...but, the prisoners seized control in the end. Wade was one of those who took his chance on the outside, rather than stay and be subjected to whatever social Darwinian nightmare that would have eventually developed in the confines. He left and made his way to the green zone, only stopping to visit his family in the country home he knew they would bunk down in when the weather got bad-most of them, were dead or missing by then. It was a massacre, bodies strewn about, drilled with precision rifle shots...with the exception of his wife, Emily, whom was being held captive in the basement for further entertainment. He snapped a mans neck (Either a soldier, or a man dressed as one) and freed her, bullets nipping at their heels as they ran into the cornrows.

The Green Zone was hardly better...but, he thought might be able to survive here, at least...for a man with no name, this dubious freedom was quickly becoming an ironic Hell. His skills as a Conman came into immediate use, and for awhile everything was good. Yes.

Attributes
Endurance: 2
Force: 1
Fortitude: 1
Inspection: 0

Skills

+2 Charm/Negotiation
+1 Cooking

Advantage: 
Smuggler's Roost/ Wade has some skill in hiding things from the law that be, and has done some handyman work to make sure there are places where these things not found.
Extra Food/ Wade has an 'arrangement' with a soldier to kick him back some extra rations for certain services he provides on the sly, which he keeps buried under the dirt, beneath floorboards of his small shack in sealed jars.

Disadvantage:

Services for Goods/ Wade is often contacted by people who need things-oftentimes military-and he understands there really is no refusing the deals they offer. He lives, and in moderate comfort, because what he provides is worth more than they'll get by spitroasting his corpse and stealing everything on him. Of course, they'll be hanged too if they're caught by those higher than them. A house of cards waiting for a stiff breeze.

Wife/Emily Blue is about the only thing Wade cares for anymore in this whole rotten world. While there is a tough and weedy sort of love between them that refuses to die despite the poor soil, they have a difficult, explosive relationship. Full of unspoken anger and old regrets.

She's only 24, thin and fragile-not a killer yet, and unused to the horrors of the world. He's not sure how long he can protect her...

--

Not sure about the skill numbers. Cooking is a bit general, and I'm not sure how to narrow it down any.

Looks good, Dwarmin, but you are supplied with a house at the start, so you can change the small shack advantage to something else if you like. Also, I just made an OOC thread, So we can discuss things there.

Lemme reserve a spot, so I can write up a character and such, since this looks neat. :v

Done!

Probably won't be playing in this one, sorry to say. Just joined a bunch of other games and I don't want to drag this one down.

Excellent, you get +2 to electronics and +1 to sneaking around. I'll start working on the first post (cos we've been waiting a long while and four's okay to start with), so move all discussion to the OOC thread. Remember to watch this space, as the post should be up by tomorrow.
